SEBI CSCRF Incident Reporting: What the FIRE Format Changed
If you are a SEBI-regulated entity, the way you report a cyber incident changed in August 2026 — but not
Practical cyber security guidance for Indian businesses — Zero Trust, SIEM, MDR, endpoint and network security, identity and access management, risk assessments and SOC operations, written by the Novotron security team in Noida.
This is the largest section of the Novotron blog, and it is written for the people who actually have to sign off on security spending: founders, CFOs, IT managers and compliance leads at companies running 20 to 500 endpoints. Every guide here starts from what a mid-sized Indian business really has — a mixed estate of Windows laptops, a firewall someone configured three years ago, Microsoft 365, a few line-of-business servers, and no full-time security engineer — rather than from an enterprise reference architecture that assumes a 24-person SOC.
You will find explainers on the fundamentals (what a firewall does that antivirus cannot, what identity and access management means in practice, how VAPT differs from a compliance audit), buying guides that put real Indian price bands against each service, and operational pieces on running or outsourcing a Security Operations Centre. We cover the threats that are actually hitting Indian SMEs right now — business email compromise, ransomware delivered through unpatched remote access, credential stuffing against Microsoft 365 tenants — and the controls that stop them.
Novotron delivers these services from our office at Aycon Tower, Sector 135, Noida, to clients across Delhi NCR and the rest of India. If a guide raises a question about your own environment, call +91-8130009878 or write to sales@novotrontech.com.
